Our story takes place during the War of the Five Kings. The War of the Five Kings was a large, multi-theater conflict fought in Westeros from 298 AC until 300 AC. Following the death of King Robert Baratheon, Joffrey Baratheon rose to replace him. However, Joffrey wasn’t a true Baratheon at all - he was in fact the bastard son of Robert's wife, Queen Cersei Lannister and her twin brother, Jaime. Robert's Hand of King, Eddard Stark finds out the truth regarding Joffrey’s incest birth. When Eddard confronts Joffrey, he is immediately thrown into the dungeons of the Red Keep. Joffrey executes Eddard Stark and resumes his place upon the Iron Throne. Before his death, Eddard Stark told the secret of Joffrey's true parentage to Robert's brothers: Stannis and Renly Baratheon. Despite their differences and disagreements, Renly and Stannis joined their armies together with the support of House Tyrell and the Armies of the Reach. This agreement was only made after Renly demanded the death of the Red Priestess, Melisandre and a place on Stannis' Small Council. To their surprise, Stannis agreed to the demands. With this act and with much of Renly's influence, the Tyrell's (despite their hatred for Stannis and his wife), support the Baratheon claim. Davos Seaworth was sent to the North to meet with the Lord of Winterfell. Robb Stark, son of Eddard Stark also raised his banners and agreed to aid Stannis in honour of their family friendship. Robb's mother, Catelyn Stark helped secure further alliances with her old family ties, House Tully of the Riverlands and House Arryn of the Vale. Being Eddard's steward and Robb's brotherly-friend, Theon Greyjoy had been sent to the Iron Islands to secure their allegiance. Theon's father, Balon Greyjoy, had already decided to declare war on the other Kingdoms. By doing so, Balon Greyjoy crowned himself King of the Iron Islands and planned open rebellion against the rest of Westeros. When Theon disagreed with his father's actions, Balon commanded that Theon fight the strongest warrior in the Iron Islands - to prove his opinion worthy. Unfortunately for Theon, the Ironborn champion bludgeoned him to death.

The armies of the Reach and the Riverlands guarded the borders of Westerlands, preventing the Lannister armies from travelling to Joffrey’s aid in King's Landing. Whilst they held the boarders, Stannis had sent assassins disguised as Lannister soldiers to murder Mace and Olenna Tyrell. Stannis remembered the Tyrell's attack on him at Storm's End during Robert's Rebellion and sought revenge. The assassinations were successful and the Tyrell’s had a newfound hatred for the Lannisters. The Stormlands, the Vale, and the North all closed in upon King's Landing's front - forcing all of the Crown's forces to the sands of Blackwater Bay. From there, they met Stannis and his army sailing from Dragonstone. Trapped, cornered and vastly outnumbered... the Crown surrendered. Without any mercy, Stannis had Joffrey executed for the death of Eddard Stark. Cersei was executed for conspiracy, incest and attempted murder. Jaime Lannister was personally executed by Brienne of Tarth for conspiracy, breaking his oath as a Kingsguard, and attempted murder. At Casterly Rock, Stannis met with Tywin Lannister and his son, Tyrion. While Tyrion desperately exercised diplomacy, Tywin furiously refused to bend the knee and swore to destroy the entire Baratheon dynasty. Stannis forced Tywin into a trial there and then, with Tywin demanding a trial by combat as Stannis called him for treason and open rebellion. Honourably using themselves as champions, Stannis slew Tywin himself. Tyrion was declared innocent, but was forced to forsake all his land and titles. Petyr Baelish, now a prisoner of Robb Stark, was executed for his treachery against Eddard Stark and Jon Arryn. Back at King's Landing, Davos Seaworth would be named Hand of the King as Stannis began constructing his new world. Kevan Lannister eventually swore fealty and was named Warden of the West and Lord of Casterly Rock. Robb Stark was named Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell. Edmure Tully was named Lord Paramount of the Trident and Lord of Riverrun. Lysa Arryn was named Lady Regent of the Eyrie and Warden of the East until her son Robin come of age. Due to the murder of Mace Tyrell, his son and heir, Willas Tyrell, was named Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Mander and Warden of the South. Renly Baratheon was named Lord of Storm’s End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Dorne remained a neutral principality under Prince Doran Martell.

With the Kingdom's stability restored, Stannis called the banners of Westeros to crush the Greyjoy Rebellion by Balon Greyjoy. The King's armies met the Iron Fleet as they began raiding the western coasts. Brutally outnumbered, the Ironborn retreated with an unlikely ally. Varys the Spider, unhappy with his lack of power at Stannis' table, decides to tell the Ironborn about the remnants of House Targaryen. Varys and Ilyrio have elusive plans for Young Griff and Daenerys, and see acquiring the Iron Fleet for either of them as a deed well done. However, once lead to them, the Ironborn successfully capture both Daenerys Targaryen, Young Griff and their respective entourages. After much torture and interrogation, the Ironborn immediately kill Young Griff, Varys, Ilyrio, Jorah Mormont, and Viserys onboard their flagship. Rather than killing Daenerys' dragons, the Ironborn foolishly sold them to the Sorcerers of Qarth for a hefty amount of gold. The Iron Fleet then sail away grim Essos, leaving behind a hoard of furious Dothraki savages - including Khal Drogo. Back on board, the Greyjoy's realise that Daenerys' is pregnant. Back in Westeros, Tommen and Myrcella Baratheon (Lannister) are also exposed as the incest bastards of Jaime and Cersei Lannister. Because they committed no crimes, Myrcella was left in the company of Dornish royalty, and Tommen was sent to squire for House Tyrell. With the help of Gendry and Arya, Bran and Rickon are reunited with Robb and Sansa at Winterfell. Robb Stark gives Gendry a home at Winterfell for his bravery. During their combined efforts North of the Wall, Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly and the Night's Watch convene at Winterfell, where their stories of the White Walkers are confirmed by Bran and Rickon. Robb would send word to Stannis, and Westeros would unite and prepare for its assault against the Night's King. After a series of devastating battles, the army of the dead were eventually defeated. However, the side of the living encountered many losses...

House Tarth. Brienne Tarth, the only daughter of Selwyn Tarth - was eager to join the Kingsguard of House Baratheon, given her commitment to Renly. She was instead, ordered to return home to continue the legacy of her House. Her father Selwyn was getting old and hadn't much time left, nor was he very successful at fathering children. By order of the King, anyone who would marry Brienne would take the Tarth name, and their heirs would be rightful Tarth's also.

House Mormont. During the war against the undead, the White Walkers killed Maege, Dacey, Lyra, Jorelle and Lyanna Mormont. The only capable survivor was Alysane "The She-Bear" Mormont and her children. Alysane claims the father of her children was a bear.

House Florent. Due to Selyse being the wife and Queen and King Stannis I Baratheon, Brightwater Keep was given back to the House Florent - and the Tyrell's were made to pay for its glorious refurbishment. To this day, House Florent still claim they have a more worthy blood-right to Highgarden - but for the sake of peace, Stannis continued to reluctantly ignore their appeal. Due to the deaths of some House Florent members during the war, Alekyne Florent succeeded to Lord of Brightwater Keep and Head of House Florent.

To pay him gratitude, King Stannis I Baratheon offered him anything he wanted, given it was within his power to grant.

Castamere was rebuilt and given back to House Reyne, under the Lordship of Bronn Reyene.

Arya Stark marries Ser Gendry Storm, whom was accepted in by Robb Stark - the couple lived out their remaining days at Winterfell. Benjen Stark and Jon Snow were killed by the Night's King.

P R O L O G U E

On the 51st nameday of Queen Shireen Baratheon, a feast and dance was held at the Red Keep - invitations extending to all the Lords and Ladies of Westeros. Though she mourned the recent death of her husband, the late Benjamin Waters, Shireen greeted many guests and received many exotic gifts. In the midst of the evening, Shireen retired to some rest whilst her eldest son, Stannis II Baratheon took over as host. When Stannis eventually retired to his chambers, Shireen returned to bid goodnight and farewell to her guests. Upon her last sip of wine, she began coughing and choking - moments later, she collapsed to her death on the floor. Witnesses included Ned and Catherine Stark, Martyn Lannister, Lord Karstark, Lady Redwyne and Steffon Baratheon. Before Shireen abruptly collapsed, an Essosi Merchantlord, who was an irregular guest, flung himself to her introduction -- out the corner of anyone's eye, it'd look as though he was somewhat responsible. Ned Stark drew his Valyrian Steel sword, Ice, and beheaded the Essosi Merchantlord upon the steps of the Iron Throne. Martyn Lannister objected to such an act and attempted to kill Ned Stark, after insisting the Essosi deserved a Westerosi trial. Whilst Steffon Baratheon tried to breakup the fight, Lord Karstark felt Martyn's blade impale him within close combat. The City Watch separated them both and left them to the new King's judgement.
